Notes About The Poem

image from Hope at pinterest.com

*Note: In the movie Sudden Impact, Clint Eastwood says, "Go ahead, make my day." This line is one of the most famous catchphrases from the film, which is part of the Dirty Harry series. (Source wikipedia.com)

GO AHEAD--MAKE MY DAY

GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY!* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a squirrel named Clint, who lived in tree branches in Eastwood near Flint. With an armored tank near, he ruled without fear, for in Eastwood, with his reign Clint was content. The rabbits did quake in their burrows, while Clint fired acorns like arrows. “Your cheese is certainly no match, for my tank’s bulletproof with a perfect hatch. Remember, I’m king of these woodsy meadows!” So, if you should wander through Flint, and see Clint with his tank beat up and bent, just remember this tale, of nutty squirrel with acorns to impel, who fancied himself a powerful prince!

Wonderful limerick series. The levity brought a lightness that I truly cherished. Ideal for your comical penmanship. Delighted in it, indeed! It seems a while was spent in thought, to craft this notion and set it upon the page.
